A major new national study finds “numerous, consistent differences” between the young adult children of homosexual parents and young adults who were raised by their own married mothers and fathers. The findings are from the New Family Structures Study, an ongoing, federally funded study at the University of Texas.

The study is following a nationally random sample of young adults who were raised in a variety of family forms, including a large sample of young adults with parents who were involved in same-sex relationships.

The study found that young adults whose mothers had a same-sex relationship were more likely than young adults from intact biological families to:
• Report being in counseling for depression, anxiety, relationship problems
• Be open to homosexual relationships.
• To report sexual activity with another person other than their spouse/partner
• To report some type of sexual abuse

Matthew 19:4-6
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”(NKJV)
